Coming up to 12 Grand Licks too ...
A very strange Easter day, in fact it is much the same as every other day for the last few weeks! I am beginning to get fed up doing very little except dog walking and cooking with the odd shopping trip in between.
I hope you all enjoy getting on with your daily plans.

Morning All.
Struck it lucky again today with the weather. It is lovely out there.
I have done all I can on the trike for the moment as I am still waiting for a piece of 1" tube to turn up for the handelbar mounting.
But I am pleased with it so far..
Another treadmill session in a moment, but I am enjoying that first coffee right now.
You all have great days now, and enjoy the last of the sunshine today. It will be not so nice tomorrow.
Here is a picture of the trike (with working gear-train).

Mornin folks.

So when you steer, your feets go left and right too?
Won't your physiology limit the amount of turn you can get?
Jus finkin..

Spot on! It is called a "Python-Trike" and the angled joint in the middle allows it to steer in circles that are tighter than most standard trikes (especially tadpole trikes).Mornin folks.

My mate has had his "Python" for over 6,000 ridden miles and he out-manoeuvres me all the time. The other benefit is that you can ride hands-free as it is self centring. When you sit on it the angle of the joint makes it try and straighten up.
There will be handlebars but they are used more as placeholders to put the mirrors and the brake levers. 90% of the steering is done with your legs/hips. It is really alien to start with. I tried his trike and went all over the place, but once going straight it was really easy. So I thought I would make one too.
RIP Stirling Moss. Legend.
It bends in the middle and you steer it with your ar5e.sounds good, looks good but I haven't a clue what it all means.
Simples! Thanks, that's my kind of technical explanation.It bends in the middle and you steer it with your ar5e.

Do you get to lycra-up legitimately anorl, or is it hells angel chapter sale leathers?
God not lycra! There's acres of the stuff badly covering tonnes of MAMILs on full blown racer bikes out there! < shudder >
Levver lace up chaps, Thas the, way to go. Plenty of ventylashun
Definitely no lycra
Maybe some shorts (at worst) on very sunny days.
Is just a bit of exercise and fun when touring in Holland towing a trailer with all the camping gear.
